Radical New Economists

Oh, we’re radical new economists,

We’re radical new economists,

We like health care and fair wages,→

And sweatshops give us rages, //

We’re radical new economists.

We like rules made out in public, yes we do,

And ones that serve all people, wouldn’t you?

We’re tired of all the corporate greed→ That hurts the people on Main Street, //

We’re radical new economists.

We like trade that’s local and that’s fair,

And doesn’t transport coal or pollute air,

We like farms owned by the farmers→ Not those agribusiness charmers, //

We’re radical new economists.

So, join these radical new economists
Who say it’s time to tax our billionaires.
And set up a fair new system,→ One we can exist in, //
As radical new economists.
